I've as new Windows 7 64 bit machine. As a long-time iTunes user, I updated to 11 and this is what has happened:

1. Half of my playlists are gone; those that are left have around half of the song they used to have.

2. Ringtones gone

3. Audiobooks gone

4. Movies gone

5. TV shows gone

6. Two thirds of my library gone

After several conversations with Apple support, I've gotten most everything back after about 12 hours working on the problems. I still, however, have missing songs and I've just got to hack my way through finding them. One of the Apple techs told me many of my problems were not isolated.

Does anyone know what I did wrong? I did the update as I've done it many times before.

Used it for more than a week now...still do not like it...the more i use it the more obvious it becomes it is a disaster....example: If you use the search function you are asked if you want the found results in the main frame...well, not as easy as the old one wich just went where you asked it to go ,but...ok...if that is all...well no...because if you are finished with the requested songs you are automatically brought back to the top of the list....

Every time again and again you have to scroll down from Abba,Aha,AC/DC..

My favorite is that sometimes iTunes plays an TV episode that is completely random when I've selected a specific one. For example, double click on a Walking Dead episode it starts playing one from Six Feet Under. Also, the majority of the time it cannot play two episodes in a row of any show without closing and reopening.

I could go on and on and on.

I haven't found a program so clunky since . . . well, since I was a Windows user.

Took a bit to get used to, been using it everyday since it was released. I have over 500+ albums mind you. But over all I really like IT11. There are a few bugs that need worked out and a few features I would like to see. But I find it pretty good.

Even though I had to make a tiny bit of effort to get used to something different <gasp>, I've actually found that it enhances the way I like to organize, browse, and listen to my music. So far I am much preferring it to previous iterations, and am excited to use it.

If, after a few more days, I find some flaws with it, I'll be sure to completely blow a gasket and add my own melodramatic, doom-and-gloom post to the mountain of them forming in this thread.

Is Apple is trying to force us to acquire all our media from the iTunes store in order to listen in the correct order?
I accept that in the future physical media will cease to exist, but CDs and DVDs are still very much in existence and I for one have plenty waiting to be imported.
Apple have dropped the superdrive from the new iMac so they can show photos taken at a strategic angle to imply it's much thinner than the bulbous bulk at the back. It's a desktop machine - are they suggesting the slimline edges have freed up lots of useable desk space? Desk space that could be used to plug in an external Superdrive perhaps - hardly as elegant as an internal Superdrive.
Apple need to slow down and fix their current range of hardware and software instead of focusing on this relentless onslaught of underdeveloped, untested buggy new products.

Has anyone else noticed that iTunes is now much slower recording the recently played songs?

I thought it was just me (after iTunes bungled my entire library on my iMac, and then my "fix" ended with me deleting artists S-Z... thank god for back ups) when my iMac would only record every 3rd or 4th track played in the "Recent" smart list. But then, on my MacBook I've recently noticed the same thing, however three hours later the list corrected itself.

I like it. It's pretty snappy and when I transferred my music to the music folder from my external HDD I was worried the tags would be all messed up but iTunes sorted everything just the way I like it and most of my album art is there too. Doesn't hurt that it's also easier on the eyes
